    Without Yao Ming, this team is exactly last's season magic.

    Tmac takes tons of shots, and missed tons of shots.If he didn't shoot so many, we even don't need so called clutch play.

    Tmac is a joke. Tmac cant be the 1st option if we don't wanna be last season's magic.

    See how many shots Yao Ming took!!! It's another joke

    Unfortunately, most of the so-called "expert" fans can't see this, :)

    He fouled out of the game. He committed 6 turnovers before doing so. He has to be able to hold onto the ball before we pass it to him.

    When Yao left, TMac was alone out there. Sura wasn't finding open seems, and JJ was JJ, missing open jumpers.

    yeah, i have the same feeling.
    in the OT Rox had no efficient offenses without Yao
    what the difference between this team and the old Magic?

    Was this statement made before or after T-Mac's clutch shot to put us ahead in regulation?

    it only looks this way when the shots aren't falling, t-mac will pull up a lot of shots because he knows if he can get going it could be a 40+ night. T-mac does so many other things than score so he is far from a "joke" without Yao. Yao is looking more like a joke but the ref's had a role in that tonight. and you are saying without Yao we are last years magic.. I can't blame T-mac for that, that's all management. T-mac was the only bright spot in ORL.

    I can see that TMac averages half a turnover less per game despite having a much bigger duty with the ball AND playing more minutes. That happens not only in this game, too.

    Yao Ming was doing a lot from the bench tonight. Now that's clutch.

    Not to mention, if Yao could at least hold onto half the balls he gets down low, maybe he could put up a shot without it getting stolen or blocked.

    Until Yao develops some sort of strength to hang on to that ball the other teams will always take advantage of that one of his many weak sports he has.



    Sometimes I feel we took the Puppie away from the Momma tit tooo early.

    These answers the question whose better, TMAc or Kobe. Amare or Yao. TMAC and Yao are a joke to this team. Instead of feeding off with each other, TMAC plays as his own man and yao plays, well as yao, heartless, passionless, turn over prone, dickless 7'6 player.

    Who are we going to blame next? Is somebody gonna blame this loss on Mutumbo for falling asleep on Okafor and getting posterized by him when we had the 2 point lead? What's this world coming to???
